The best JBL in-ear headphones

JBL T205BT

Rating: 4.9

More often than not, wireless earbuds come in the form of “earplugs”. Manufacturers forget that such accessories are often used outdoors. And how will you hear an approaching car or cyclist’s call if your ears are insulated from outside noise? That is why our rating could not help but get Bluetooth headphones JBL T205BT. These are traditional earbuds with a battery built into the little remote on the cord. In addition, the remote control has three buttons, one of which is physical – it is responsible for pausing the music. On the sides of it are buttons to go to the next and previous song, as well as to change the volume.

This headset is very popular. Due to high demand, the manufacturer has released at least seven color variations of his creation. The blue model looks the most interesting, but some will prefer white or even pink headphones. Communication with your smartphone here is via Bluetooth 4.0. The cost of the headset does not exceed 2000 rubles, so support for aptX profile is out of the question. In a word, the sound quality is not ideal. Negatively on it and minimal noise isolation. Nevertheless, the bass is felt, and many buyers of JBL products and do not need more.

The accessory is charged by the traditional method – the cable from the mains adapter is inserted into the socket micro-USB. Charging time is 2 hours, which can be considered a standard for such headsets. The running time is, on the contrary, below average, about six hours of music playback at relatively low volume.

It remains to be reiterated that this is a headset. That is, there is a microphone, thanks to which you can easily talk on the phone without taking the accessory out of your ears.

Advantages

• Not bad, though not perfect sound quality;
• Convenient neck lanyard;
• The set of color options;
• Low cost;
• There is a microphone.

Disadvantages

• Not the longest working time;
• Not very stable Bluetooth connection;
• It is not possible to connect to multiple devices at the same time;
• No moisture protection.

JBL T205

Rating: 4.8

Of course, JBL could not help but release wired analog of the above headphones. It turned out to be a few grams lighter, since there is no battery. The form of the headphones themselves remained the same – it is convenient earmolds, similar to the famous Apple EarPods. If conventional earmolds regularly fall out of your ears, then this product holds up noticeably better. There is a microphone here too, so it is more correct to call this model a headset, but not the headphones.

You can buy JBL T205 in Russian stores for only 1000 rubles. It would seem that such a low price tag should have made the headset incredibly popular, and this in turn should have provided a huge number of color options. However, in this case, the manufacturer decided not to bother, releasing only four color versions. Inside these headphones is a 12.5 mm diaphragm. It is the one that outputs the sound. What is important, the sound is quite saturated, even if not ideal. The bass is well felt. As stated above, they are what you need most from JBL products.

You can find a small remote control on the headphone cord. It is primarily used to answer the call. Strictly speaking, this is its only purpose – apart from the corresponding button on the remote, you can find only a microphone opening.

This is the end of the description of JBL T205. In the production of such an inexpensive accessory does not make sense to apply any unusual technology. The product does not even have a gold-plated plug. It is glad that the manufacturer did not forget at least about the case.

Advantages

• Convenient cable with an L-shaped connector;
• In the kit there is a case;
• A built-in microphone;
• You can answer and end calls;
• Four color options;
• Low cost.

Disadvantages

• The lack of noise isolation will not suit everyone;
• No moisture protection;
• You can’t adjust the volume;
• The design is not suitable for all ears;
• Average sound quality.

JBL Tune 225 TWS

Rating: 4.6

The company JBL could not ignore the sudden popularization of TWS headphones. Such accessories are characterized by the total absence of wires. They are stored in a special case that also serves as a portable battery. There are several such accessories in JBL’s assortment. The most popular headset of this type is the Tune 225 TWS. It has a relatively small size, and its body and case can be painted in one of at least six colors. Perhaps the green and beige versions look the most interesting. However, we recommend to choose based on the color of your smartphone.

In terms of their design headphones are earmolds. This means that they will not feel like a foreign object in your ears. This design also allowed the manufacturer to equip their creation with 12-millimeter loudspeakers. It makes the volume reserve very decent – music will be heard well even on the subway. However, it is still not the best choice for use in public transport, because you will hear other people well enough too.

The JBL Tune 225 TWS was released relatively recently, so don’t be surprised if it supports the Bluetooth 5.0. It allowed the manufacturer to achieve low power consumption. As a result, you can keep the headset in your ears for four to five hours. Only after such a period of time they should be placed in a complete case. It can charge the headphones several times, increasing the sound duration to 23-25 hours. The full charging time is only a couple of hours, which can’t help but rejoice. The case itself also charges in a very short period of time. What is important, it uses a modern and convenient connector USB Type-C.

If we talk about the disadvantages, then most of all some people complain about the size of the accessory. Alas, the headphones are noticeably larger than Apple’s competitor (but they are also much cheaper). Also not a lot of volume level gradations.

Advantages

• There is a microphone;
• Long battery life;
• Comes with a handy carrying case;
• A large number of color options;
• Decent volume reserve;
• It uses USB Type-C to charge the case;
• The cost can not be called very high.

Disadvantages

• Not a lot of volume gradation;
• Dimensions will not suit everyone;
• Buttons are only for receiving a call and pairing.

The best JBL in-ear headphones

JBL Under Armour Sport Wireless

Rating: 4.9

There is no denying that cheap wireless headphones do not sound the best, even if they are made by JBL. If you want to get not only tangible bass and midrange, get ready to pay more than 5 thousand rubles. In particular, JBL Under Armour Sport Wireless headset will please you with excellent sound quality. Yes, it is very expensive, but it has a waterproof case. Of course, you are unlikely to walk in the rain in these headphones. But during all kinds of workouts a person tends to sweat – it is important that the headset will not be afraid of it.

Externally the accessory is nothing special. These are traditional “earplugs” that have a neck cord, on which is located the remote with three buttons and a microphone hole. The remote control allows you not only to answer and pause the track, but also to adjust the volume. Also switches to the previous or next song are available.

The sound here is output by means of a 5.8-mm diaphragm. It can not be called very loud, but thanks to the good noise isolation music can be heard well even in the subway. The accessory in our rating is powered by a lithium-ion battery. Its full charge is enough for several long enough workouts. The manufacturer claims about eight hours of music. Charging the headset lasts about a couple of hours.

The product comes with a large number of interchangeable ear cushions with different diameters. Also in the box with headphones comes a modest case. It remains to add that this model is available in at least four colors. However, it was produced quite a long time ago, so now you can find only white and black earphones – they were produced in the largest number of copies.

Advantages

• Decent battery life;
• Comes with a case;
• Convenient use;
• There is protection from moisture;
• A large number of interchangeable ear cushions;
• There is a microphone.

Disadvantages

• High cost;
• Too intrusive discharge warning;
• The microphone is not too sensitive.

JBL E25BT

Rating: 4.8

Don’t want to spend too much money on a Bluetooth headset? In this case, you may consider buying the JBL E25BT. This is a simplified headphone that, nevertheless, perfectly interacts with any smartphone, including the iPhone. This product is sold for 2-3 thousand rubles. In stores you can find headphones colored in five different colors. Included with the headset you will find a very short charging cable, carrying case and only three pairs of replacement ear cushions.

This product keeps in touch with your smartphone via Bluetooth 4.1. The aptX profile is not supported here – however, many much more expensive JBL creations can’t boast about it either. Much more frustrating is the lack of moisture protection. It is not recommended to practice in such a headset – the sweat can quickly put the electronics out of order, and it is unlikely to be recognized as a warranty case.

Despite the low cost, the accessory has a very high capacity battery. If you fully charge it, you can listen to music for six to eight hours. Charging duration is average, in the neighborhood of two hours.

The manufacturer did not forget about the microphone. It is located on the remote, located on the neck strap. The keys for volume control and song switching are also available. It is not difficult to answer an incoming call with this remote control – this is what it is primarily intended for.

Of course, such inexpensive headphones could not do without just one or two flaws. If you read the reviews on the JBL E25BT, it is clear that the headset has far from the most sensitive microphone. Also, some people note the excess of bass – if the music was created with live instruments, then listen to it in these headphones is not recommended.

Advantages

• There is a microphone;
• There is a remote control with three buttons;
• Low cost;
• A lot of color options;
• The headphones come with a case;
• Stable enough connection via Bluetooth.

Disadvantages

• No moisture protection;
• The microphone has low sensitivity;
• It most often does not reach the declared operating time;
• Not very convenient switching between tracks.

JBL C100SI

Rating: 4.7

These earplug headphones have the familiar shape. So you won’t have to get used to them. Also, no one will take away your ability to talk on the phone, because this product is equipped with its own microphone. To answer the call you have to press a single button on the remote. You can also use it to switch tracks and pause playback. And just to adjust the volume you have to take your smartphone out of your pocket.

The JBL C100SI headset is available in three colors: white, black and red. If you see the accessory in any other color, then you are probably a fake. The product uses the usual thin wire. There are both pluses and minuses. The advantage is the low impendance, so you will enjoy maximum volume even when you use the headphones with a regular phone or other low-powered device. Well, the disadvantage is the regular tangling of the wire in your pocket. However, it does not come to serious nodes, that cannot help but rejoice.

Mostly people buy the JBL C100SI because of its very decent sound. It is safe to say that the headset fully covers the money you invested in its purchase! Even the bass is given attention here. But one can not help but admit that in some cases you have to use the equalizer. Alas, this is what suffers from any budget headphones, no matter what company they were released.

This headset is in-channel. It comes with three pairs of removable ear cushions. There is some possibility that none of the diameters will suit you. In this case, it is recommended to borrow the ear cushions from your former headphones – they should fit this model, too. In the box with the headset JBL C100SI you will not find anything else.

The connection to the audio equipment in this case is made through a cable length of 1.2 m and a straight 3.5-mm “jack. Gold-plated! And for sound reproduction are responsible 9-millimeter diaphragm.

Advantages

• Low cost;
• Three colors to choose from;
• Not a bad volume reserve;
• Decent sound;
• A gold-plated plug is used;
• Microphone is present.

Disadvantages

• Not a great number of interchangeable ear cushions;
• Direct plug will not suit everyone;
• No buttons for volume control.

The best JBL overhead headphones

JBL Everest 310

Rating: 4.9

Beautiful looking overhead headphones created by JBL. Several color variants are available for sale. However, they do not differ too much from each other, in any case the buyer is waiting for a light color – for example, silver or purple. Like almost all other headphones from JBL, this model is equipped with a microphone. This means that you can use it as a headset, talking to people on the phone or on Skype. However, this is not the only reason why we have included this product in our rating. We really liked the build quality. It is believed that these headphones are unlikely to break after a few months or even years of active use. Only falls on the pavement can cause any damage to the construction.

When designing this headset, the engineers did not have to try to reduce the size and weight. As a result, they decided to put a very high capacity battery in here. It takes two hours to recharge it. A full charge provides 15-20 hours of music playback, depending on the stability of the Bluetooth signal and the volume level. If suddenly the headphones are discharged, and you absolutely need to use them, you can connect the wire. This is a very good solution! It uses a standard audio cable with 3.5 mm “jacks” at the ends. It goes without saying that the cord comes with the headphones. The buyer will also receive a case for transportation of the accessory.

The headset is hard to fault, even if you want to. The device is easy to fold, it produces a very high quality sound, and even very loud. Not to mention the presence of noise cancelling, thanks to which the caller will not complain about the fact that you can not hear well. The manufacturer did not forget about the possibility of adjusting the volume. Perhaps the only complaint can be about the lack of support for aptX codec. Because of this you will definitely notice that in Bluetooth-mode headphones sound worse than in wired mode.

Advantages

• The 610 mAh battery gives you long-lasting sound;
• It is possible to work in wired mode;
• Comes with a handy case;
• You can adjust the volume level;
• They cut off outside noise very well;
• There is a noise cancelling microphone.

Disadvantages

• Far from perfect sound in wireless mode;
• Some copies make squeaking noises.

Quality audio equipment sells for a pretty penny. This applies to some home theater and everyday accessories. For example, if you want to get from the headphones close to perfect sound, then get ready to pay more than one thousand rubles. In the case of JBL products, the best over-the-ear headphones are the model under the very long name Under Armour Sport Wireless

ain. It’s priced at around 10k. rubles, and sometimes even more noticeable amount.

These headphones do not have any particular disadvantages. I can only complain about the lack of additional color options, the stores sell only the familiar black model. The case here is made of durable plastic, which will not crack even after several years. The manufacturer has implemented a foldable design that allows you to easily take the headphones with you anywhere outside your home. The presence of a microphone contributes to this, so you can talk on the phone, when the device itself is left in your pocket. It is connected to it by means of Bluetooth 4.1. Support for aptX digital codec is absent, but even without it the sound quality is not too bad. Especially if you listen not to MP3s but to FLAC or any other format without strong compression. Listeners, of course, will not be happy. But they can enjoy the sound through a wired connection – a detachable cable is supplied. In this case, the sound will not be affected by the “blue tooth”, which has not the highest bandwidth. The length of the bundled cord is 1.2 m. If it seems short, no one can prevent you from buying any other.

In each cup is located on the 40-millimeter speaker. The volume reserve is huge, it is enough even to use the headphones in the subway. The accessory still sounds very loud even when wired to a low-powered device. Not very high impedance of 32 ohms is to be thanked for this.

The 240-gram headphones include a 610 mAh battery. Its full charge lasts for 14-16 hours of sound. Impressive result! But many customers are even happier with the support of fast charging technology. Before the next run, you can hold the headphones connected to the mains adapter for just five minutes – this is enough for an hour!

Advantages

• Track switching and volume control are possible;
• There is a microphone;
• Robust and reliable design;
• Long battery life;
• A wired connection is available;
• The headphones are not very heavy;
• Great sound quality;
• Implemented fast charging.

Disadvantages

• High cost;
• Only one color option.

JBL T600BTNC

Rating: 4.7

Another JBL over-the-ear headphones in our rating, already much less expensive. Here you can see that the manufacturer has spared on design, it is unlikely that such a headset will surprise you with its appearance. Pleased at least that it was decided to sell several color options – including a pink model, which should appeal to girls.

As expected of JBL products, this accessory has a microphone, which allows you to use it with your smartphone. And last but not least, the microphone has noise canceling so the person you are talking to can hear you just fine. Problems may arise only in the subway, where you need a more advanced noise cancellation system, which the manufacturer could not implement in such inexpensive headphones.

This product weighs 173g. It’s not much. It is easy to guess that there is no place for a particularly large battery. But 11-12 hours of sound is a very good result that will satisfy most customers. As for the charging time, it is about two hours. JBL is not the kind of company that will introduce the support of fast charging technology in its creations. Instead, it endows its own headphones with the ability to connect a cable. Yes, this headset can also be used in wired mode, just like the model discussed above! By the way, the user can increase the battery life. You need to turn off the active noise cancelling system. But in public transport and on the street after that can be a problem – the external sounds will still get to you through not the tightest ear cushions.

Advantages

• The volume can be adjusted;
• There is a system of active noise cancellation;
• Can be used as a headset;
• Stable Bluetooth connectivity;
• A long time to work on a full charge;
• Can be connected to an audio source with a cable.

Disadvantages

• Minimal noise isolation;
• Not the best wires in the kit;
• The sound is far from perfect in wireless mode.

JBL T450BT

Rating: 4.6

One of the most inexpensive wireless headphones from JBL in the over-the-ear form factor. The product comes in three colors – blue, black and white. Large enough earcups allow you to cut off outside noise. The folding design makes the headphones easy to transport. It is a shame that the kit does not include a case – you will have to put the device in a backpack without it.

The weight of this model reaches 320g. This allows you to understand that it uses high-quality speakers and a high-capacity battery. However, the performance of the above headphones is far from this product. You can squeeze only 11 hours of music playback out of it at most. Of course, many competitors can’t offer that either. But we already know that JBL engineers can give their headphones longer sound. Though they should have saved money on something, because the price of this model is two or three times less than the price of the above mentioned headsets. It’s nice that at any time you can see the level of charge – it is displayed on the screen of your smartphone if the headphones are connected to it.

The JBL T450BT also includes a microphone. It is better not to talk on it in the wind. But the size of the headphones hints at the fact that they are designed for home or, in the extreme, office use, and in such circumstances, you are unlikely to encounter any problems.

If we talk about the sound, then there is nothing special waiting for the user. As in many other JBL headphones, you can feel the bass. Even too good: sometimes it’s just too obtrusive, and not perfectly clear.

Advantages

• A handy folding design;
• There is a microphone;
• Stable and fast Bluetooth connectivity;
• Long enough battery life;
• There is a volume control;
• Low cost.

Disadvantages

• There is no wired connectivity;
• To some, they may seem too tight;
• Rather rapid degradation of the battery.

The best full-size headphones JBL

JBL Tune 750BTNC

Rating: 4.7

JBL strives to create a variety of headphones. However, they must necessarily meet several requirements. First, the accessory should not be heavy. Secondly, the sound quality must be at an acceptable level. That’s why there are almost no full-size headphones in JBL’s lineup right now – they can’t be made lightweight. But this status is close to the model called JBL Tune 750BTNC. If you have relatively small ears, they will really be covered by the ear cushions. But for many people – it’s still overhead, but not full-size headphones. However, such buyers will not remain unsatisfied. They can be afraid of insufficient soundproofing. However, this is not a problem, because the accessory has received an active noise cancelling system! It literally saves you in public transport – subway or airplane.

This model is available for sale in four colors. The easiest way to find a white version of the headphones. But if you want to stand out, it’s better to look for blue or red. Be that as it may, and you get your hands on a relatively light accessory – the scale under it will show only 220 grams. This means your head won’t get tired even if you decide to enjoy music for a very long time. And the battery that is used here allows you to do so without any problems – its full charge lasts for 13-14 hours of sound! To be precise, its capacity is 610 mAh. It’s nice that the manufacturer did not forget about the technology of fast charging – the process of filling with energy lasts no longer than two hours.

This model stands out strongly against more affordable competitors. First of all, there is a microphone. It allows you to keep your headphones on even with an incoming call. Secondly, the headset has a convenient control panel that will be used to adjust the volume and switch tracks. Third, the manufacturer has introduced a wired connection. If you forget to charge the accessory in time, you need to use the removable cable that comes with. It allows you to do away with the Bluetooth 4 standard.2, thereby experiencing the improved sound quality. You get the sound, by the way, from the 40mm driver.

JBL Tune 750BTNC – this is a good overhead headphones. But do not think that they are perfect. They have a number of disadvantages. For example, the active noise cancelling system does not work here in the best way. Especially if you compare it to that of much more expensive headsets. Also, some customers complain about not very much bass volume.

Advantages

• A microphone is present;
• You can control the tracks and volume;
• There is a system of active noise reduction;
• Four color options are available;
• It is possible to connect it with a cable;
• Decent sound quality;
• Good volume margin;
• Long battery life.

Disadvantages

• Not very good feel the low frequencies;
• To connect the audio cable is used a 2.5-mm jack;
• Not the best microphone performance.

te 750NC”>

JBL is very rarely engaged in the production of full-size headphones. JBL Everest E

The te 750NC is one of the few models of this type. Its ear cushions completely cover the user’s ears, thanks to which external sounds are significantly muted. But in addition to this accessory has an active noise cancellation system! So you can hear what’s going on around you even if you don’t have any music playing!

It should be noted that the presence of the above technology requires a separate power source. In this case it is the battery capacity of 850 mAh. Because of this, the accessory needs to be charged from time to time. But it can also work in wireless mode! The need to connect the AC adapter is quite rare – a full charge lasts for 17-19 hours of sound, depending on the selected volume level.

Inside the headphones is a Bluetooth 4 wireless module.0. If this option of listening to music is not satisfactory, you can use the complete wire, which also has a remote. Also in the box with the accessory will find an adapter for the plane.

The ear cups and headband of these headphones are painted either black or gray. The first ones are equipped with 40-mm loudspeakers, which can boast of 92dB sensitivity. As for the impedance, it does not exceed 16 ohms. That means that you can cord the headphones even to a small cell phone and still get plenty of sound. And the accessory has a built-in microphone, so you can answer incoming calls.

JBL Everest E

The te 750NC is a rather large headphone. In this regard, we should not be surprised that the scales underneath them show 280g. This number indicates that this model is geared for use with a desktop or laptop. For use outdoors or on public transport it is better to buy some more compact headset.

The main drawback of this model is the aforementioned active noise cancellation system. It is impossible to listen to music with it for a long time. The fact that because of it the right earpiece begins to make a high-frequency squeaking. You don’t even pay attention to it at first. But gradually it does start to get in the way. And it’s not a defect – about the presence of such a drawback wrote almost all buyers.

Advantages

• Can be used in both wired and wireless modes;
• There is an active noise cancellation system;
• The presence of a microphone;
• You can adjust the volume and other parameters;
• Low impedance;
• Long battery life;
• Comes with a case.

Disadvantages

• The headphones came out big and heavy;
• Noise cancellation does not work well.
• Not very good bass feel.

Conclusion

Try not to forget that the Chinese craftsmen produce a lot of fakes. These headphones may sport the JBL logo, but as far as sound, they are far from perfect. That’s why we advise you not to skimp when choosing JBL headphones. Buy them from some reputable online store, ordering them directly from an official distributor. And be guided by our selection – here we consider only the models with the fewest faults (and even JBL does not produce perfect headphones).
